Reincarnation into the Barrier Master

"So far, no problems at all."

Prime Minister Gremont bowed in greeting. At these words, the emperor, Heat, nodded his head in exultation.

How is North Eden?

Yes, we've sent two battalions of the Imperial Guard over there, and we're fortifying the city so that not a single mouse will get through.

"Mm. That's the water bottle of the capital. If that place is hit, this capital is as good as dead. Protect it at all costs.

"Ha-ha-ha."

At that moment, the door to the room was opened and one of the retainers entered. The man bowed and quickly ran to the emperor, muttering something in a low voice.

What?　Let me through at once."

The man bowed again and walked away.

"Your Majesty, who has come to see you?"

The emperor did not respond to the Prime Minister's question, but only smiled at him.

"Excuse me."

The door opened again and two women entered. The Prime Minister saw them and looked at them with a startled expression on his face.

"Oh, it's been a long time!"

The women did not respond to the emperor's words, but walked quietly toward him. When she came close to him, she bowed deeply with a magnificent gesture.

"Your Majesty, you are in a beautiful ...... mood."

"Good, good, no hard talk."

The emperor laughs and waves. One of the women stands back with a tense expression on her face and an item wrapped in a cloth in her hand. The emperor looks at the two women in front of him in turn and continues to speak, his face as calm as ever.

"You and I are friends. Only the Prime Minister is here, and you know that this is my private chambers. There is no need for you to be afraid.

"That being said, ......"

"Ha ha ha. You're as serious as ever, Lycorette."

When his name was called, Rico bowed reverently again.

"By the way, you've grown up, Mister Eril."

At the emperor's call, the woman's shoulders shook with a jerk. She looks more like a little girl than a woman. But despite the fact that she is holding her luggage with both hands, she bows with a graceful gesture and slowly opens her mouth.

"Your Majesty, I am very happy to hear that you are in a good mood.

At Eryl's words, the emperor looks a little surprised and turns his attention to his mother, Licorette, who is standing by his side.

"I am surprised to see such a firm greeting at such a young age," he said. Did Licolette teach you this?"

"Yes. ....... I'm still learning the ropes. ......"

"I have taught and I have learned."

No, Your Majesty. Not yet. I am ashamed of myself.

"What do you say, you idiot? When we were this age, could we have behaved in such a manner?　I was too afraid to say anything, and kept hiding behind my father and mother. You, too, could do nothing but hide behind your nannies and peek. It is not good to force children to do what their parents could not do. It's admirable if you can do such a thing at your age. Praise him. Praise him.

At his brother's words, Licorette bowed her head with an indescribable expression on her face. Eril, who was standing next to him, bowed his head with an expression of not knowing what to do, following his mother's example.

The emperor looked pleased to see them.

"Well, Riccolette. What brings you here today?　You're not simply visiting to see how I'm doing, are you?"

"Yes, brother. Actually, my husband left this for me, and I've come to deliver it to you.

Rico glances quickly at Eryl, who is standing next to him. She strode up to the emperor and slowly held out an item in her hand.

"What is this?"

"It's a boundary stone."

"The warding stone ...... would be ......."

"Yes. A message from my husband, asking for your help in guarding North Eden.

What a ...... brother-in-law you are! You've been very thorough.

Thank you very much. But ...... Sadie says it is unlikely that North Eden will be attacked, but in case it is, she asked my husband to deliver this to ......."

"I see. I'll put it to good use. Who has it?"

Immediately the door opened and a retainer entered. The emperor handed the man what he was holding in his hand.

Take this to North Eden at once. It is a boundary stone given to me by my brother-in-law. But be on your guard!

At the emperor's words, the man bowed reverently and left quickly.

He bowed reverently to the emperor's words and left quickly. I must thank you again in some way.

The emperor mutters to no one in particular. Liko did not open his mouth to speak, but simply bowed his head in a small gesture.

"Well, you have come all this way. Take your time. Yes, who is there?"

Once again, the man on retainer enters the room. The emperor opened his mouth to him in a good mood.

"Go get the Arrows."

Soon after, a boy entered the room accompanied by a man. His face was elegant and kind, and he looked like a prince of a great kingdom.

He stood by his father's side and bowed silently to Licorette with his right hand on his chest.

"Now, now, Arrows. You can play with Lady Eryl."

Arrows stared at her father with an annoyed expression on her face. Eryl, on the other hand, remains downcast.

"What is it?

"...... What can I do for you, Father?"

"Anything will do. You can go out and play, or you can go to that ...... what? You can go out and play, or you can do whatever it is that you're passionate about.

"Right now, I'm reading the History of the Battle of Catamaribe: ......"

"Military history?　Are you reading that stuff, you ......?"

The emperor looks aghast. At that moment, Rico opened his mouth.

"...... Why don't you show His Highness around this palace?　Hey, Eril."

He looks into the face of his daughter, who is lying face down. Eryl slowly looked up and saw her mother's face. She tilted her head slightly, not knowing how to respond.

"Yes. Arrows, you show her around the castle.

At the sound of her father's voice, Arrows squinted her eyes and looked as if she were thinking about something.

"Where would you like me to show you?"

At Arrows' words, the emperor looked disappointed and leaned forward from his chair as if to speak to Rico.

"I'm sorry. You are too serious."

"No. You seem to me to be a very intelligent man. He doesn't just follow his father's orders. He tries to understand them. You are indeed the Crown Prince of the Hereditary Empire. Please praise him, my brother.

At Liko's words, the emperor shook his head slowly from side to side with an expression of exasperation on his face.

After leaving his brother's side, Rico walked down the long corridor of the palace, guided by the Prime Minister, and thought. Should he have brought Eryl closer to the Arrows?

But it was obvious that Arrows was not interested. Daring to approach Eryl at that point would have only made him feel bad and no progress would have been made. Besides, it would have been unreasonable to ask Eryl to do something that might put him in a good mood, given his personality.

Anyway, it was an achievement that Eryl and Arrows got to know each other. Eril himself had no problem with his behavior. At least, he would have greatly improved his brother's impression of him.

"......Then, please give my regards to the King of Agartha."

Before we knew it, we had arrived at the room where the transfer warding had been set up. Liko thanked the Prime Minister politely and then climbed onto the ward. Eliru followed him and entered the ward.

When I looked at her, I saw that her face was a little pale. She seemed to be in a state of extreme tension. She turned around and bowed to the Prime Minister. The Prime Minister gave her a big smile.

Just before activating the transfer warding, Erile sighs loudly. Although she has been released from her tension, it is too early to relax. Perhaps this sigh caught the Prime Minister's attention. Rico returns to the house, thinking that this girl is not ready yet.
